Abstract

Philosophy of science plays a critical role as the epistemological foundation in shaping research methodologies and guiding scientific inquiries. Although previous literature emphasizes the theoretical connection between philosophy and science, studies synthesizing how specific philosophical paradigms directly dictate operational research designs remain limited. This study aims to analyze the role of philosophy of science in developing scientific methods through a critical synthesis of ontological, epistemological, and axiological pillars across major research paradigms. Utilizing a descriptive-analytical library research approach, relevant literature on philosophy, methodology, and scientific inquiry was systematically examined. The findings demonstrate that philosophical paradigms directly govern research operations: (1) positivism enforces quantitative, experimental designs aimed at empirical verification and causal relationships; (2) constructivism drives qualitative, naturalistic approaches focused on contextual meaning and dialectical interpretation; and (3) pragmatism serves as the theoretical bridge for mixed-methods research, prioritizing practical problem-solving over methodological purity. Furthermore, the study underscores that integrating axiological reflection is vital for navigating contemporary methodological challenges, including algorithmic bias and data ethics. In conclusion, philosophy of science provides both the logical structure for operational methodology and the ethical framework necessary for maintaining scientific integrity

Abstract

This study aims to determine the efforts of Akidah Akhlak teachers in fostering religious moderation at MTsN 2 Jambi City. This study uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed descriptively-qualitatively to describe strategies and challenges in fostering religious moderation. The research findings show that efforts to foster religious moderation are carried out inside and outside the classroom. In the classroom, teachers insert moderation values such as tolerance, justice, balance, deliberation, middle ground, and equality, all of which are related to students' daily lives. Outside the classroom, coaching focuses on strengthening national values and local culture through extracurricular activities and national moments. The obstacles faced include students' lack of understanding due to an unsupportive environment and the influence of social media that spreads extreme information. Strategic efforts involve all elements of the madrasah, including the principal, through synergy, role models, and integration of moderation values in activities and curriculum.
